For those worried about the cold-weather Super Bowl in northern New Jersey in 2014 – Fuggettabattit!

The weather was perfect for football at New Meadowlands Stadium on Sunday – sunny, with a high of 46 and winds out of the northwest at 10 to 15 mph.

Even one of the worst winter’s in recent history in the New York metropolitan area could not take away from the day.

“It’s pretty seasonable,” said Matt Scalora, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. “There’s not much to say.”

The NFL waived its rule requiring host cities for the Super Bowl to have an average temperature of 50 degrees or a dome as a bid requirement. League owners voted in May to play the game in the $1.6 billion stadium co-owned by the Jets and Giants, risking the possibility of what might be first cold weather championship for the world’s biggest football game.

“A gorgeous day for football in New York today,” Giants spokesman Pat Hanlon tweeted on Sunday from Dallas, site of this year’s Super Bowl. “High of 40, brilliant sun, no wind, barely a cloud in the sky.”

Matt Higgins, the Jets’ executive vice president for business operations, saw the tweet and responded.

“(at)giantspathanlon 2014, here we come.”

Mark Lamping, the president and chief executive of the New Meadowlands Companies and one of the point men in the bid to bring the game to New Jersey, said it really doesn’t make a difference what the weather is in 2014.

“Our plan for the 2014 Super Bowl assumes that we will have to deal with inclement weather,” he said in an e-mail Sunday. “We are confident that with close coordination between all appropriate NJ and NY public safety and transportation agencies we will be able to effectively deal with any weather situations we encounter.”

There have been several remarkable cold-weather title games. The Giants beat the Packers 23-20 in overtime in the NFC title game on Jan. 21, 2008, in Green Bay, Wis., with the temperatures at minus-3 degrees – and a wind chill of minus-24.

Cincinnati beat San Diego 27-7 in the 1981 AFC title game known as the Freezer Bowl. The temperature in Ohio was minus-9, with 35 mph winds making it feel like minus-59.

The one almost everyone remembers is the 1967 NFL title game known as the Ice Bowl in Green Bay. The Packers beat Dallas 21-17 in a game played with the temperature at minus-13 and a wind chill of minus-48.

The coldest kickoff temperature in Super Bowl history was 39 degrees at Tulane Stadium in New Orleans for Super Bowl VI, when Dallas beat Miami 24-3. It’s been at least 57 degrees for every Super Bowl since 1975, when it was 46.
